It's_AUDM_Yo Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Turn the steering wheel to full lock one way or the other. If this is what you mean. Quote
frknstn Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 got a pic its well on there Quote
corollaart Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Put the the nuts back on and hit really hard with lump hammer lump hammer not them girly builders hammer. On the side not the nut . Edited October 8, 2012 by corollaart Quote
kickn5k Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Put the nut back on the thread(so you don't damage the thread) and give it a good bash with a sizable hammer/mallet!! If that don't work, you can buy tie rod/ball joint separators from bursons, autobarn, super crap etc. Corollart beat me to it. Edited October 8, 2012 by kickn5k Quote
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Do you have a heat gun? Put the nut back on a bit Heat the steering arm/knuckle up heaps until wd40 etc smokes a bit then smack the nut with a hammer. Works for both LCA and tie-rod end EDIT: bloody hell beat me to it.

springersrolla Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Put weight on it otherwise your wasting your time.I will often try to break the lock of the taper before I lift a car up to work on it now days. Leave a bit of the nut on. Or put a hammer on the other side of where your hitting. It's a pain in the ass dude Quote
frknstn Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 This would help if the thread wasn't minted from the lcs being removed y the last owner at some point The nut came off but won't go back on. And I can fix the thread Quote
frknstn Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 The thread end has been grinded away for some reason its ʞ©$ɟed Quote
frknstn Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 and the oxy is out of gas ahhhhh fml Quote
Jono.C Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Yeah smash the side of it with a hammer as others have said, or get a crowbar under the knuckle and pull up and it should come off Quote
frknstn Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 think we might have a ball joint separator i the shed somewhere Quote
NinjaMekanik Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 i would pull the whole lot off from the tie rod put it in a vice and smash the cr@p out of it from the top if the thread is screwed anyway. but I'm rough lol. Quote
Jono.C Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 I tried hammering from the top on mine.. did shit all.. whacked it on the side twice and came right off Quote
